Description

A. J. C. van der Slot and colleagues follow in 2026 how suicidal thoughts rise and fall together with other symptoms over time. Which feelings move with such thoughts, and which move first, could guide care. Data came from three Dutch mental health cohorts during the pandemic years.

Among 307 people whose suicidal thoughts fluctuated across 16 survey waves, thoughts climbed overall during the study window. Sad mood, low self-worth, lost interest, and reduced happiness moved in step with them. Two anxiety signs and heavy worrying also tracked along. Loneliness and feeling abandoned did not survive strict statistical checks. No symptom clearly led the others after those checks, which favors watching the whole pattern per person.
